Utilitarianism and Kant’s deontological theory are both similar and conflicting in their own ways. The two proposals hold grounds that serve as foundational moral theories. Within utilitarianism, there is a way of quantifying pleasure and pain in order to apply the GHP. This group provides qualities of pleasure such as intensity, duration, certainty, and propinquity of pleasure. These qualities translate to how hard, how long, how reasonable, and how soon. Within ethical decision making these…

ethics are guided from the philosophical concept that is the Categorical Imperative, a wholly binding rule of morality that is justified as an end in itself. In the spelunker case, Kant would ultimately have the choice of killing the large man to save himself and the life of others, or have all of them perish. The fact that the former is the only option which ends with life does not matter to Kant. This choice would be quite an easy decision for him to make. Kant believes murder of the innocent…

In football, you use your speed for e.g; When you’re attacking and you are dribbling past a defender, you can use bursts of speed to blow past him.

It was a nice sunny afternoon. We had gotten the news that the weather wasn’t going to be good. Our bus ride was more calm than usual as I didn’t hear much talking. I guess we were a little excited we were going to play on turf. I personally didn’t really care about the turf but I was concerned, about the fact, we were going to play older players. Coach gave us a heads up to play our hardest. Only five minutes into the ride and I was getting the nerves I always got. It felt like someone was…

callers decided to have Hogan offer a fake handoff to McCaffrey. As McCaffrey cut to the right corner of the end zone, all but one of Iowa’s defensive players committed to stopping him without hesitation. As Hogan peeled out from the fake handoff towards the left corner of the end zone he was left in a one on one open field situation with Iowa’s safety. Seemingly with ease, Hogan ran into the end zone. In addition to it being a brilliant tactical move, Stanford executed the play flawlessly—it…

If someone is driving at 55 mph, this would equal the driving length of a football field without looking at the road. Texting…
